Food Photo Friday: Spain loves pig

Mallorca, Spain

Mallorca is just a quick 8 hour ferry ride from the great street art Valencia and I could not pass up the chance for sun and fun in Spain. But as I knew it was a big tourist destination I hit the supermarket to stock up on food.

Holy cow! Or perhaps I should say holy pig!

There is an entire section of the store dedicated to pig products. I’m not sure if you realize this in addition to all of the different pork products pre-packaged this is a giant wall of pig leg!

My family heritage is supposed to be Italian and Irish but I am really starting to think my ancestors are Spanish.

Much thanks to Hostal Atlanta that hosted me in Palma, Mallorca. It was one of the cleanest hostels I’ve been in and the staff was so nice and helpful.

ooh… probably what I miss most from home – all the jamon iberico! In Spain it’s a custom to have a big pig leg at home for christmas time… I think this is the best present someone could ever give me!Katherina recently posted..What Has Kept Me too Busy to Blog

Drool! We attempted to smuggle a big hunk of jamon iberico home to the States with us…and failed. Immigration did take pity on us and let us keep the rest of our assorted food goods, but insisted that they had to take the jamon Ashley recently posted..Exploring Krakow, San Francisco’s Sister City

YUM! The only problem with this post is that I’m drooling over these pics before I’ve had breakfast. BTW, we went to a swanky restaurant here in Atlanta recently (opened by Oprah’s former personal chef) where they had an artisanal ham bar. I immediately thought of you!Bret @ Green Global Travel recently posted..GALAPAGOS ISLANDS Day 4- Photo Gallery
